Anytime you see a photo of Ben Affleck, you’re guaranteed to spot a good pair of sneakers, a giant cup of Dunkin’ Donuts iced coffee, or both. So, it was only a matter of time before the Oscar award-winner combine both of his obsessions into one—and that’s exactly what’s happened.
On the streets of Los Angeles, the Gone Girl actor was seen wearing a wool chore jacket layered over a plaid flannel—a familiar combo, especially on those rare chilly days in Cali. What’s not so familiar are the pair of sneakers he had on his feet. At first glance, they might just look like any old pair of Nike Dunk Lows, but upon closer inspection, you’ll realize Affleck’s kicks are very special indeed.
The bespoke, unofficial Dunkin’-inspired Dunks were crafted by sneaker customizer Ant Kai and commissioned by the donut chain to celebrate the release of Affleck’s film Air. A limited number of pairs were auctioned off in support of Dunkin’s Joy Foundation.
Dubbed the ‘What the Dunkin,’ the shoes feature an all-leather construction and are painted in Dunkin’s iconic tones of pink, brown, orange, and beige. The overall vibe, with a drippy Swoosh and sprinkle graphics on the toe box, is similar to that of 2020’s smash-hit Ben & Jerry’s x Nike SB Dunk Low.
